Ask Lemmy

I had a 16 year old account (from the digg migration) permabanned sitewide by a bot for using the letters "GME" together in a post in r/wallstreetbets. That's when i found this place.

I didn't get banned. I left after the API change. I was already reducing use naturally, and what time I did still spend there was mostly to mod a very small niche hobby sub.

Without the mod tools I used before the API changes, plus the influx of MAGA-bots on reddit as a whole, I could longer mod the sub in a way the community asked for and that I was comfortable with. So I resigned, wished the remaining mods well, and went about my way.

There were other subs trying to go dark and impact reddit's advertising opportunities, and reddit was banning some of the mods doing that sort of thing. I decided even if reddit changed course, I was past the point I could ever come back to it.

I left for the blackout.

Not banned, left voluntarily. The experience was so shitty I finally just said fuck it and left

I got perma banned because I said Nazis deserve to die.

I said I wanted to kill Andrew Tate

I didn't get banned, I left Reddit voluntarily when they announced that they were going to be increasing censorship on their site a year or so ago.

My reasoning was, 'It's only a matter of time before I *do* get banned for something stupid, so I might as well leave this site on my own while I'm still ahead.'

Nah I was part of the app/api exodus.

Banned just over a year ago due to rump and anti nazi comments with a few fuck Ford’s in there as well.

bailed on the mod purge when they tried to tell mods how to mod their subs.

Not banned but they stopped letting me use bacon reader. so that was a deal breaker

16 years, voluntarily killed my account.

Never got banned but have been on threadiverse since the Apollo killing a few years ago. That was plenty for me to leave that site.

10 years in. Banned for suggesting that Trump’s immigration policy should keep the white trash South Africans out of America and not employed as ICE agents.

I wasn't banned until well after I joined Lemmy

I was "harassing" a climate change denier by @ing them on climate change related news. The dude refused to block me and just kept getting annoyed once or twice a day instead. 10/10 would get banned for antagonizing someone too stupid to use the block button again.

I don't know. I went back after leaving for ethical etc reasons and my old reddit account was reported suspended, but also doesn't come up in a search at all. I tried to read something on a web page on my computer, to which I've never logged into reddit, and it said something about blocked, and I couldn't even load the search suggestion, that had generated it, found it on another site, anyway. I miss my content, but the site is no loss, it's a bot heavy slow boil to Nazism.

I wasn't banned, but I rolled over after 3rd party apps were taken away on the day they stopped working. I only use the app for it so taking that away made it pretty easy to stop and no i wasnt going to use their own because they forced my hand. Apps were limited on lemmy at that time and had to wait like 4 months before the one i used to use was released, but it was worth it.

Reddit didn't ban me, I banned them.

After Reddit cut off api access to third-party apps, I left. Well, not right away, I did give RedReader a try for a month or so.

Not banned, just fed up.

15 year account, banned for the same anti-Zionism as you.

13 years and like 800,000 points later, 790K of which was from comments, banned for saying that nazis deserve to be dead. Must have hit too close to home for the admins.

I came here after the Reddit API mess but still posted on Reddit.

Got a temporary Reddit ban for a short statement saying Biden was caught genociding, then recently a permanent ban for saying the only way Trump is leaving office is if 100,000 people drag him out. "Inciting violence."

303,000 comment karma, 8,388 post karma, 14+ years.

Going corporate is never good.

Using a VPN.🤷‍♀️

Also, welcome! 🇵🇸✊

I got 'soft banned'.

I had stopped commenting on Reddit back in 2022 after receiving warnings on similar topics. Continued to lurk and scroll. Now reddit has an uncloseable popup on web telling me to use the app. So I don't use reddit.

Banned for using a VPN for “ban evasion” but never had been banned before.

Appealed. No response.

I took that as a fuck off message.

I got banned for saying that nazis used to get punched at punk shows.

Not banned, I just like Communism, FOSS, and decentralization.

Haven't been banned yet, but I avoid politics on Reddit and I rarely post/comment over there ever since the 3rd party app fiasco.
